[Brian G.]

Totally went under our noses - why hasn't anyone mentioned X-Files?

I can see Disney eventually agreeing to let Universal use *some* properties. Especially if Disney has no plans to use many of the properties we’re talking about. It would be a way to at least make some money on IPs that they otherwise aren’t using.

My thought process went that if they could pitch it as a brand-building thing for both companies, like maybe start with something small, like a "Fox Searchlight" house a la Blumhouse, that'll "elevate the profile of Searchlight's lesser-known works by bringing them to the nation's premiere Halloween event" and bring up Universal's Symphony thing or whatever, then work their way up to AHS and Alien. I think it could really work out. Get a house going with Ready or Not, Antlers, and maybe Shape of Water or something.

Then again, I get the impression that Disney likes keeping things in-house, so I still feel like it'll be a tough, but not impossible, sell.

I don’t, especially for HHN.

Yep. I say with some authority that they're happy to be petty about this.

For a company that seems to really like making money, I'm surprised they're not more enthusiastic about the chance to license out the highly sought after properties at a premium price.

I'm in the Disney would allow it for a premium camp... they're stingy, not impossible, especially for properties we'll probably never see at a Disney park... but then again so is UC.

They're playing at a higher level. They don't want to make chump change licensing... they want to keep Universal from adding value to their parks and events, which in turn siphons away vacation days from their own properties.

I know we’ve talked about this before, but this still seems like weird reasoning to me, if only because the HHN crowd isn’t really the Disney-going crowd

After what they've gone through.. and continue to go through with Universal on the Marvel rights and now The Simpsons rights.. This doesn't surprise me at all.. I wish it weren't the case, but what can ya do, ya know?

It doesn't matter to them, as they see Orlando vacationgoers as all part of one big pie. They don't want people staying at a Universal resort when they could be staying at a Disney resort.

A lot of Disney guests are older teens and adults that also go to HHN, especially out here in SoCal, so there is definitely still a crossover audience.

soCal and Orlando are very different markets

 

[captainryborg]

Desperately want Halloween 3, ROTLD, Fright Night, The Fly, The Omen (it COULD be done, actually), Horrors of A24 (I'd go with Green Room, Hereditary, and Midsommar as Eggers would likely be a no-go), Theater of Blood (getting an underrated IP AND Shakespeare in there!), Mandy, J/K-horror, ugh the possibilities are endless...

 

[captainryborg]

GOOSEBUMPS too.

i think I’d love to see an original inspired by Goosebumps, but I think the actual IP is just a little too young adult for HHN

See, I feel like they could do some brilliant stuff with it a la Poltergeist. The books/TV show definitely gets darker than the movie (which they should stay far away from).

I've said it before but theyre published by Scholastic, which I'm sure wants Goosebumps to have nothing to do with HHN.

When it comes to HHN, I don’t know a single person that loves HHN that doesn’t also like Disney or at least visit their parks a few times per year. The crowds have far more crossover than you seem to think, especially seeing as one of the main demos for HHN is now middle school/high schoolers and their parents.

And before you say anything about high schoolers not thinking a Disney is cool, that would be an extreme falsehood. WDW and UOR are hangout spots for high schoolers.
